I think Lena's continuing her read from last summer...

[Siobhan]

I should get there today hopefully! :)

[Sedat]

Ok, this book has been taking so much of my time, its been 5 days and it ends today! Brb 5 hours ^^

Then I can start crimson campaign tomorrow

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

It IS 1000 pages... took me 6 days my first time through... don't want reading to become stressful...

[Sedat]

The 5 hours is finished so is the book :) Its been amazing really I couldn’t count how many of those moments I was like whaaaaat???? and also full of emotion. Graphic audio helped so much on those emotions too.

I’m on mobile again so can’t write spoilers. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll.

I can’t wait to find some time between BR’s and continue reading more Kaladin :)

[Brian]

When is the buddy read for Book 2? Maybe I’m blind but didn’t see it on master buddy read list?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

It hasn't been scheduled yet, I don't think... the ones who setup this Buddy Read wanted to see how long this book took them, I assume...

[Yanique, Thread Master]

I'm done.

5 STAAARRRRRRS!!!!

Way to go Sanderson, that's how you suck someone into a series! I have no complaints at all, which is weird for me. I loved this world and all the characters... again weird for me, at least one character usually get's on my nerves.

I'm down for the second read... but let's not take too long ok, because I may not be able to wait too long.... just saying....

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Sounds like we recruited another Lifetime Fan

[Yanique, Thread Master]

I think so! I see why all of you are fans now.

[Sedat]

Iain wrote: "Sounds like we recruited another Lifetime Fan"

Definitely, I now know why there are so many Fans out there.

After sleeping on the book I think I might say that it was probably the best book overall I've read in my life. Maybe it ties with Name of the Wind, I think I have to read it again to decide.

I'll read Mistborn #2 & #3 this month and I'm in for Reckoners, Mistborn Era2 BR's. Hopefully I can be a full Sanderson fan in a few months :P

[Anni]

I'm currently reading the prologue and I have no idea what is going on right now and who's who... But I guess it will become more clear as I make progress :)

It does! It is so weird starting this book though, you have a lot of action at the beginning and then it calms down

[dianis.]

I wish I had time to read this, since I'm dying to keep going. I agree with Lena in that Szeth is the most interesting character so far.
I am at chapter 16 and I still like Kaladin's parts more but Dalinar is also so good. (view spoiler)[What's up with those voices inside Dalinar's head? Those warnings are really worrying me.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Beste]

When are we reading Word of Radiance?

[Brian]

I don’t think it’s posted yet. I’m about 50% done with this and I’d be excited to continue on

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Waiting to hear what Siobhan/Anni/Zaara say, but probably between May 10th and June 10th... those are the most common reading schedules... monthly and bi-monthly

[Beste]

I'm packed in May, going holiday in June. So I will have hard time in both scenarios. You guys can choose whenever you want :)

[Sedat]

I have little bit free time on May 10th, I'll join if it happens then.

[Anni]

I don't think I'm able to finish the Way of Kings until the 10th... I'm overbooked like crazy this month and it doesn't help that this book is a doorstopper 😅 But if everyone else like to start in May I will start later and read everything you posted later.

[Siobhan]

Just schedule whenever you want guys, I think this is going to take me ages, and even so I don't have time for WoR until at least September. :)

[Siobhan]

I'm onto chapter 17. (view spoiler)[ My main thoughts right now are that I wish Kaladin had gone ahead and been a surgeon like his dad wanted him to. :( being a soldier and now a bridge slave is so bad for him! Wondering where it went wrong for him. (hide spoiler)]

Yay! Glad you liked it!

(view spoiler)[I wish his life had gone differently, too! I really want to know how everything went downhill. Is his father dead? I really don't get it.
Though he was such a different person as a kid. (hide spoiler)]

I'm on read number five or six I think. ;D stopped counting a while ago.

(view spoiler)[ That time where Tien was taken. Almost was going to be a Katniss scene, but turned out more heroic and more for vain. His brothers death was ahhhhh! I can't find a word. It was just cruel. (hide spoiler)]

[Zaara]

Yeah. Same. You guys go on ahead...

[spoilers removed]"

We already knew what would happen but still it wasn't easy, I was cursing the whole scene while reading. It was cruel indeed.

[Siobhan]

I'm sure they will! :)

And glad it's not just me, Diana!

[Lena]

Finished chapter 61 and got at least one answer I needed emotionally. I really hated that Dalinar could not remember his wife.
And there was some goodness at the end there ;)
But 62 looks like more Kaladin so I’ll bow out for the day.

[Siobhan]

I just finished part 3, and the interludes before part 4. Wow, this book just keeps getting better and better! So much has happened, I'm learning so much, and there's no character's POV that I don't like.

(view spoiler)[Learning Kaladin's back story is heartbreaking, still haven't seen how Tien died but its awful that he was made to go to war. :( And that's why Kaladin didn't train to be a surgeon.
I can't believe he actually killed a shardbearer and didn't claim the shardblade. I get his point, but think of the good he could have done for his men from a position of power. :( I love what he's doing with his bridge crew and I hope they succeed in escaping!

I'm not sure what's going to happen with Shallah now, it was all going so well and then she got poisoned and had to reveal the stone to let Jasnah save her life...! I didn't suspect that nice ardent man would do something like that, but he was very worried about that jam haha. (hide spoiler)]

Anyway, just thought I'd check in with my thoughts on part three. It was awesome!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Glad you're liking it... reminds me of my first read...

[Beste]

HEY. HEYYYYYYY EVERYONE..
Shall we decide when to read the second book sometime?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I think we agreed the fast readers can request a date in May that they want... Anni/Siobhan/Zaara probably won't read until September...

[Beste]

Are you re-reading in May or Sept?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

May, if I can fit it in, for sure...

[Beste]

Then lets say around end of the May? or beginning of June?

[Sedat]

May works for me as well but beginning of June is impossible :)

[Beste]

25th May I will say and tell me hot or cold?

[Sedat]

I planned reading Iron Gold there but its not a BR so I can reschedule.

Also May 8 works for me.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

May 25th works for me... early every month is already packed with tons of overlapping Buddy Reads...

[Yanique, Thread Master]

May 25th works for me!

[Beste]

Same here. Once I sort the first half of the month, its easier to read other than BR's too (I need a little YA in my life to not go in a reading slump)

I'm just like you! YA palette cleansers between my more serious adult reads. Planing on trying Cinder next month, what about you?

I only read this one and if we will read the series I need a re-read so yes I'm in :)

Do you want to set up a date for monthly BRs for the series? I'm good for the end of the month since the Broken Earth BRs are done this month. How's the 24th for you?

I just realized I have 10BRs for May now. Can we set it to June? Anytime in June is fine:)

[Brian]

10!!!!! Wow! I have 6 in May but I think there is no way I can get to so many. Might have to drop a few

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I mean... I've got 18-20 on my schedule for May, and this is after pruning some off a few weeks ago...
